Losers

Delta State Governor, Sen
Dr Ifeanyi Okowa,has advised journalists to imbibe the culture of
responsible journalism which demands a thorough investigation of issues
before publishing.

Speaking at the Government House Chapel on
Wednesday (12-09-16), Governor Okowa said, he was surprised at the
blatant falsehood published by a section of the social and main stream
media suggesting that he collapsed and was flown abroad for medical
attention.

"It is unfair and
uncharitable to disseminate false information. It is very unfortunate at
this age and time that people will intentionally misinform others when
there are opportunities to find out what might have happened", he
observed.

"I am told that certain sections of the social media
reported that I have been flown abroad for medical treatment. When and
how did that happen? I have been very busy treating hundreds of files
on my table". the governor added.

"The truth is that last
Wednesday, I entered the washroom in my office and one of the tiles fell
off from the wall and I had a minor cut on my head and I had two
stitches, it was treated, and I was ok. People know I am a workaholic
and that Is why it didn't stop me from working, I am hale and healthy".

Governor Okowa expressed surprise that anybody will query why his
Deputy, Barrister Kingsley Otuaro will represent him at public functions
even when it is a known fact that the Office of the Governor and that
of the Deputy are one.

He therefore advised media practitioners to always seek truthful information at all times.
